A guide to using baby diapers1
It's time to change the diaper~ it's time to change it again~ it's time to change it again. If you are a novice mom or dad, you are likely to be a little shocked at how often newborn babies change diapers. Whether you are using cloth diapers or diapers, you may use thousands of diapers in the first year of a newborn. The author of daily necessities will tell you how to deal with diapers and diaper rash easily, list some common problems when using diapers, and teach you how to deal with diaper problems elegantly and humorously. How many diapers does the baby need? Whether you are going to use diapers, diapers, or a combination of the two, the first question is about how many tablets you need per day. We consulted mom, dad, and pediatricians, and their speculation is very similar: expect to use 10-12 tablets per day. Of course, every baby's situation is different. Some babies pee and poop more frequently; others are less frequent. For your baby, it is normal to use the normal amount. What size diaper do I need? Cloth diapers are usually only one size. For diapers, it is not easy to tell which size of diapers a baby uses. The size of the diaper is divided according to the weight, but the weight under different sizes overlaps. For example, if your baby weighs 24 pounds (approximately 21.7 kg), then is the size 3 (translator's note: close to the domestic M) size, 16-28 pounds (approximately 14.5-25.4 kg) suitable for babies? Or buy 4 (translator's note: close to domestic L) size, suitable for 22-37 pounds (about 20-33.5 kg) baby, would it be more appropriate? Moms and dads recommend choosing the right size for the baby. When buying diapers, please pay attention: ●Make sure that the diapers do not squeeze your baby’s thighs. ●If you often encounter urine leakage, you probably need to use diapers that increase or decrease by one yard. ●Diaper rash: prevention and treatment ●Allergic reactions, using a diaper for too long, and transitioning to eating solid foods may cause diaper rash in your baby. How to prevent diaper rash: ● Change diapers more frequently than usual. ●If possible, expose your baby's ass for a while when changing diapers. ●When changing diapers, use fragrance-free breast milk soap and warm water to clean your baby’s butt. Soap containing fragrance and deodorant is harmful to baby's skin. ●If you use baby wipes, choose non-scented, alcohol-free and chemical-free wipes. ●When washing cloth diapers and baby clothes, do not use fabric softener, anti-static or aromatic laundry soap. These things can cause diaper rash. ●Do not let your baby eat any food that may aggravate diaper rash. Treatment of diaper rash: ● Over-the-counter zinc oxide ointment can eliminate diaper rash. ●For diaper rash caused by inflammation and allergies, mild topical zinc oxide ointment or petrolatum ointment can be used to relieve it. ●Diaper rash caused by a bacterial infection-usually caused by Staphylococcus or Streptococcus-looks like a rash or sometimes herpes. Drug treatment is required at this time. The pediatrician may prescribe some antibiotics for you. ●For diaper rash infected by yeast, the baby’s doctor may recommend a prescription topical antibacterial ointment.
